O&O Defrag Workstation v15.0.107 (x86 / x64) | 44.3 MB / 70.1 MB
An increasingly fragmented hard disk compromises the performance of your computer. This occurs as a result of frequent write and read access, during your daily routines, while surfing or gaming, or due to frequent user access on Server. For a lasting maximum speed while accessing files, it is important that your data is organized systematically. Windows disperses single file fragments all over the entire hard disk, which increases the time for its access. The defragmentation packs file fragments coherently together on the hard disk and files the data into separate zones. Windows as well as other programs will start and run faster. O&O Defrag includes a clever scheduling function, which allows you to schedule regular automated defragmentations if you wish. In addition, the permanent and automatic optimization in the background is key to prevent a loss in performance of your computer as well as a renewed fragmentation. This will allow you to save time compared to running a manual defragmentation.
Features at a glance
Besides the continuous maintenance and enhancement of the existing program components, you will find several additional new and helpful features in O&O Defrag.
New: History
Thanks to clearly displayed statistics, you can tell what effect a regular defragmentation is having on your system and you can track the success over weeks and months. You can monitor how many files have been speeded up and how many file fragments have been put back together, for example. Based on this, you can then adjust your settings to match the defragmentation to your PC habits in order to get the best results.
New: Before/After Display
The new before/after block view clearly shows the difference a defragmentation makes: after each defrag you will receive an overview display showing the distribution of your data across the hard disk before and after the defragmentation.
NEW: Live Update: Automatic Updates to current Program Versions
The live update feature helps you make sure you are always working with the most current version of O&O Defrag. No re-registration or manual installation required: O&O Defrag does this all for you.
Simplified user interface
The user control was adapted to the most frequent application cases, so that the most important jobs will be executed intuitively. All basic control possibilities, as well as the unique functions of O&O Defrag can be accessed with just one click.
QuickStart wizard of O&O Defrag
The QuickStart wizard allows you to automate defragmentation with just a few mouse clicks right after the first start of O&O Defrag or at a later time. Once defined, you will never have to worry about the optimization of your hard disk again. Everything will be handled by O&O Defrag in the background. The default settings we propose are adapted to the needs of most our customers.
O&O ActivityMonitor
The O&O ActivityMonitor periodically determines the system load. It controls the performance demand of O&O Defrag during a defragmentation and adapts it to the current state. You can thereby work undisturbed while your system is being defragmented in the background.
Automatic optimization
Thanks to the automatic optimization in O&O Defrag, there is no need to manually set the program. It is activated automatically after installation and optimizes your hard disk in the background; without your computer losing any of its performance.
Advanced report management
The report function lists the defragmentation reports in date order and groups them according to how new they are. In that way, you will always stay informed on the performance development of your computer over time.
Optimization for all makes of Solid State Drives (SSDs)
For the first time, O&O Defrag enables you to optimize all makes of SSD drives. Using regularly scheduled ATA TRIM commands, an SSD will be kept informed of those hard disk areas that are available for new data. Instead of continuing to save the contents of data that’s no longer needed, the SSD can now use those freed areas for a drive-internal optimization of its data management. As a result, the SSD is able to process accesses significantly faster, and wear out on flash chips is kept to a minimum.
Filing drives into zones
The division of drives into zones enables the logical separation of the data into performance critical and non-critical files. A special algorithm makes sure that the data on the disk is optimally organized after defragmentation. Files are organized and moved into zones depending on their intended use and the access frequency. For instance, system and program files, which need to be accessed very quickly, are separated from other data like documents and downloads. By the division of files according to their write frequency, it’s possible to intelligently prevent fragmentation. Thanks to this logical grouping, program and system start times are shortened, future defragmentation runs faster, and new fragmentation can be prevented.
Three adapted optimized methods for defragmentation
Three methods - Optimize, Optimize/Quick and Optimize/Complete - facilitate the selection of the most beneficial defragmentation for a specific purpose. These new methods group your data into zones and combine optimally with the older O&O Defrag methods. These are, of course, still available whenever you disable zone filing.
Additional strategies to reduce fragmentation
Very large files with high-levels of fragmentation can also be efficiently packed together into a few fragments. The result is clearly measurable.
Compatible with Windows 7
O&O products are always kept up to date with the newest technologies. As a result, O&O Defrag was developed and optimized for Windows 7. Of course, the new file system exFAT is also supported, which was developed by Microsoft specifically for flash drives.
